Finally...I was starting to have withdrawals
same. i called him after i referred my uncle. lol
Same here. I was worried about his channel with the way media is being banned and controlled this week. It seemed unusual for him to go so long without a video.
I was about to post the same thing but, you beat me to it.
@@jamespruitt6718 When I open the youtube page the videos they are coming up are about cooking ,songs, weather etc. but not a single gun related video.
@@raptorkravmaga9977 that's funny I still see everything I saw yesterday and the day before
I was so worried the fruit cakes got him . What a Relief . 😅
That or a rogue pumpkin that was somehow super sneaky and missed.
The fruit cakes are busy at the moment, they're making lists.
I think he or she removed my comment for making a plane old sexist joke Glad to see he might be back
Which fruit cakes? The world has gone, well, fruity!
Paul need fear no fruitcake or pumpkin for that matter. Any he has not already dispatched are hiding as far from him as they can get.
We are in an extreme Ammo shortage and Paul is shooting several types of 5.7 ammo. What a baller!
Betting he has a lot of stocked up rnds :)
@@altonkriel probably but it also seems to be a regional thing I'm having a hard time finding much in Central North Carolina in the triangle area but I know people in the rural parts of Illinois that have good luck in the stores.
@@blake7297 5.7x28 in general is a bit tough to come by even when you look online. But realistically the toughest aspect is not many companies are loading for it. My work got tons of it yesterday but we've been out for around 2 months. So it's still getting made and coming but it's not high up on the list of production compared to other calibers.
The only thing stopping me from grabbing the Ruger 57 that's been in stock at the local Fleet Farm by me for over 3 weeks. NO one has ammo around here.
I'm seeing a lot more 5.7 than 9 around here lately
People have mentioned 5.7X28 vs. Body armor. We have demonstrated that in multiple presentations.
Paul you seriously make my life better. Your a bright light in a darkening world. Thank you for your videos.
You’re my spirit animal, Paul...
“Spear”
Thanks for the test. I was a little surprised, GDHPs usually perform quite well in other calibers.
Hey Paul my girlfriend and her dad are looking into buying their first handgun. Her father accoeding to her has used firearms before but i cant seem to speak to him about firearms and typically just leaves me dropping the conversation with him. Is there any handguns you recommend for beginners or perhaps you have a video you can direct me to? Thank you if you read this and great video!
2 vids in 5 seconds, today is a good day.
Yes!!
Astute observation my friend.
I genuinely appreciate this evaluation. 🍻
I genuinely appreciate your genuinity.
@@Vuntermonkey I appreciate it.
Ditto
I think at 50-75 yards this would yield a far more interesting result.
@@Natepwnsu yeah I've always wanted Paul to set up some sort of long range chrono, like a steel plate w a hole in it, gopro on the back of the plate and a chrono behind that.
His aim is good enough to get some results at range(mine isn't 😁).
I don't know about anyone else, but I really love the echo of the gunshots kind of peaceful and soothing
It's ASMR for the gun owner 😉
My headphones never sounded better. Thunder knows how to be silent when Paul is speaking and playing his instruments.
You should try yourself in real life.
Fall asleep to it nearly every night 🌃
I live within earshot of 3 ranges. It's peaceful, soothing music.
2 Paul Harrell videos in one day! Things don’t seem so bleak.
Drop everything and learn from the master!
Paul mentions overpenetration of the speer, while this is an issue in some circumstances, it can be ideal in others... taken from Speer description - This 5.7x28mm round will dominate a threat thanks to its 40 grain jacketed hollow point projectile. As the world’s first true bonded core bullet, the Gold Dot’s electrochemically merged jacket and core resist splitting apart throughout terminal penetration. This round’s tough bullet even retains the vast majority of its weight after having smashed through auto glass, ensuring it can always inflict a deep wound cavity within its final target. and since people ten to carry in daily life, which means traveling by car alot! or say a great motorcycle gun for those road ragers.... i can se carrying a mag of 20+ of these speer rounds.
I like the 5.7 spears. But the FN LF rounds are better in my opinion for any cqb need. They pen, punch, and tumble making them ideal. The key to a good 5.7 round is reaching that 2k fps threshold. The round just performs near-ish to 5.56 levels at that pressure. There are other companies putting out custom 5.7 loads pushing 2.5k and those hit like a hammer to.
I have leo training and have personally daily carried a 5.7 for over a decade. Great round that has finally gained some traction in the last few years. A half 5.56 caliber or pocket rifle as I call it.
thanks
paul is still my main go to channel for real info.
I came for the tedium. Proceed.
It's not tedium for me. I am waiting for when he hits the chrony. I think I am in for a long wait
Not me. I'm here for the "uhmmms" and "ahhhhs" and Shatner-esque pauses.
@@napalm3899 I have to admit I'm also waiting for the stutter
I like that other channels are starting to build their own meat targets and they give credit to Paul for the idea.
It wasn’t the Cookie Monster’s idea!
It's a better representation of the characteristics of a thoracic cavity than fbi regulation ballistic gelatin.
There's copycats out there? Sacrilege!
Gun Sam does his own thing.
They do indeed; the venerable Taofledermaus references Paul quite regularly
and the perfect ammo to test with the P50 that comes in March...
Sitting on thousands of rounds of various 17HMR ammo, I wish some company would make a 17 semi auto pistol. Great presentation as always Paul, thank you
Have you looked at any ballistics results from shooting the 17HMR from a shorter pistol barrel?
My girlfriend thinks it’s weird that I enjoy watching Paul review ammunition in a caliber I don’t own and don’t plan on buying. I can’t help it. Listening to this guy is just so relaxing. It’s been said many times, but he’s truly the Bob Ross of guns. 😄🌳☁️🏔
I appreciate my dusty SW snub nose 38 more now than 15 minutes ago. But I get your point.
Snubnose .38s have put a lot of people into early graves. While it's not my first choice, it's far from my last.
I agree. I need to get more proficient with my Model 49.
5 rounds of 38 or 20 or 5.7? Lol I carried a snub for years, I'd never go back after shooting any type of pistol
I'm glad you compared that round to the .38 Special from a snubbie. That really put things in perspective. Thank you.
New Paul Harrell video, huzzah. 2021 hadn't officially begun until today.
Informative, and entertaining, yes. "Tedious"? never
And yes, the deer were wearing t-shirts, while resting comfortably on a pile of neatly folded fleece blankets.
eating oranges
I just want to know why he was shooting deer with a 38 snubby and a 5.7?!?
Paul still must have better eyesight than me. He is twenty feet away with the sun in his eyes and isn't having any issues.
No, but the sun is like "bruh, I can't see!"
The sun knows better than to blind Paul.
Paul is what some people might call...a professional.
What's better than a Paul Harrell upload?
Two in the same minute! 🥲
I work in a large emergency department, I had a young man come in shot at 20 yards in the chest with a 5.7x28 40gr vmax. There was so much damage nothing could be done to save him. Absolutely devestating wound but no over penetration. He broke into the wrong house!!!
20 yards INSIDE a house?
@@bly4233 I have a kinda wide house on a corner lot, my master doorway to my kitchen is 53 feet. back of room to back of room is 91 feet
@@bly4233Exactly. Ridiculous.
@@featheredserpentofthewest2049we get it, you live in a small ranch house, 60feet isn't super uncommon like you think, in my apartment funny enough, from the master bed to the stairs, it's 49 feet
Meat Target: All right 2021. This is going to be my year, I can feel it.
Paul: Walk in with a 5.7.
Meat Target: FML.
Might be a lot of meat targets out and about soon
Wish he had tested $170 level lll vestI just bought
The Gun Professor never disappoints.
Thank You.
A beautiful sunny day to go shooting and what a wonderful location🇺🇸🙏🏻
Truly
Sign at Paul's butcher shop: "Roast, Chops, Meat Target."

@@KeithTingle no, but the dogs eat good.
It’s been over 2 weeks, I was getting worried. It’s awesome to see 2 videos drop!!!
Drop drop drop....
'Til you tear down the wall!
I always watch the chronograph thanks for time spent.
At least you picked a day it wasn't raining! Thanks Paul!
I suspect until the ammo situation is resolved we are gonna see Paul get very creative to come up with videos
Not necessarily. It's not like he's blazing through a 1K rd case of ammo per video. Some people already have enough, and I suspect Paul is one of those.
Only chumps waited til 2020 to start buying ammo in bulk...lol
"Today we're shooting the Meat Target. And by 'shooting,' I mean it's the projectile in this Civil War-era 8-pounder cannon."
"For the next test I have my Red Ryder 1938 loaded with Daisy-yellow-and-red-box-177-caliber-5-point-1-grain-zinc-plated BBs rated at 125 feet per second."
Man this dude is the most thorough shooter out there. Great stuff man
“See a possible advantage there?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hell yea Paul we see the advantage

The definition of the “meat target” is my favorite thing to have Paul explain.
Love the echo of the muzzle blast
Paul has to be my favourite firearm related youtuber. He has tremendous talking skills. Talks in such a way that I take everything in and do not tire of the subject.
Im currently in the UK and own seveal firearms for myself but the dream is to move to the states, fingers crossed next year if I remain employed and I keep saving
Hope you made it to the firearms promised land.
@@XxMrBossxX29 Not yet sir but fully supportive as always 👍
Hot damn Paul Harrell is back! Great video as always
Love to see that FK Brno 7.5 in Paul's hands, or mine for that matter.
That would be cool
Thank you for the beautiful scenery in the background. I'm really missing nature.
Im in the mountains in winter. Cold, leafless, but its just winter.😁
Carried the FN 5.7 with the SS197 40 gr V max ammo on duty with the sheriff’s office for about 7 years. Put down at least 20 injured deer with it, almost always with a single head shot. I was, and am, confident in its ability on organic targets. JMHO.
While all forms of ballistics testing are worthy of study and interpretation, we should never accept simulated effectiveness over real world effectiveness. Once again, I reference the Ft. Hood shooting where 43 grown adults in excellent physical condition were wounded or killed by a single shooter with a Five-seven. The attack occurred at close range, some victims attempted a response, and the shooter ended up shooting something like 140 rounds in less time than it takes to type this sentence. He averaged approximately 3 shots per victim - less than 2 shots per after accounting for misses. Obviously some were single hits, others multiple hits, but the TOTALITY of circumstance clearly PROVES the 5.7x28 as fired from a Five-seven handgun is highly effective at "stopping" humans, and highly lethal with approximately 28% of those hit being killed. The bottom line is simple, and chilling: The Five-seven (and by extension the Ruger 57) are on par with with any other caliber, with results perfectly inline with the Ellifritz study data.
NOW factor in the lightness of the handgun with full ammo load, lack of significant recoil - so elegantly illustrated by Paul Harrell's rapid shooting, and the ability to engage a much longer ranges due to relatively flat trajectory out to 100 meters.
I want a meat target explanation T shirt
The uninitiated would be so confused their heads would explode.
I watch every vid front to back without exception. I also go back and rewatch for reference. Why because his tests are repeatable and verifiable and that's what science is all about.
His early tests on log cabins are excellent. Very very gold, but great. In fact that's how I found his channel, I keep seeing Cowboy movies where the rancher fights the baddies from his doorstep and anyone inside (e.g. the wimmens) the bullets fly through as if the wood was made of polystyrene. So I wondered if anyone had tested out just how much shielding planks and logs gave. Turns out for the oldey timey cabins they stop everything (available at the time) except the largest of elephant guns.
Absolutely
First sighting of the meat target in 2021
Looks like an absolutely perfect winters day to be outside and experimenting with ammo.
I don't even own a 5.7 but I still watched the video anyway! Beautiful scenery and great information. Keep up the good work Paul!
Paul, your evaluations are greatly appreciated. Keep them coming...
Thank you, Paul. I always learn a great deal from your presentations.
I was afraid that something might have happened to Grandmaster Paul. So glad to see that he's okay.
From one CIB’er to another, thank you for your service and the services you provide here on YT. I recently picked up a P50 and look forward to testing the GD’s to the Vanguard Fang’s.
The way you keep your eyes focused on the camera while grabbing everything on the table is just boss.
yeah,he has perfect periferal sight +
Notice his revolver speed load. Ditto.
Excellent video Mr. Harrell. I appreciate the lesson you provided today. Keep up the strong work!
Glad to see you back in the saddle. Thanks for the presentation.
Man, this guy is a certified legendary BADASS!
@Edgar Critter I never had one here on earth
@Edgar Critter Both you and SLNTSCPE have your condolences. My dad was kind of an asshole, but at least he was around. Still, that also gives me motivation to be a better man and a better father than he was.
The best ammo tests in the universe Lol Thanks Paul.
Him and tn9outdoors
Thank you Paul for this video as I have always wondered about the Gold Dot 5.7 ammo.
Also thank you for standing out there in the bitter cold to shoot a video for all of us to enjoy.
Mostly, thank you for using up some very precious ammo to shoot for this video, especially in a caliber that might not be back on the shelves for years to come.
Thank you Mr. Harrell you have the best most informative and fun gun channel around! I always look forward to seeing all the things you can teach us! 👍👍
Misread the title as "Personal Protection Spear." I'm a little disapointed but still a great video as always.
I'd be happy to watch Paul review spears and test them on the meat target too. Especially Roman pila, those should zip right through with no problem.
It will be great, like the old knives and tomahawk videos.
Me too. I wanted to see how it's carried.

Finally! Another paul harrell video.... and about one of my favorite calibers.
By far the most informative gun channel on youtube. Great work!
It might help your metrics and drive viewership if you started linking to your other videos.
Watching this made me want to go back and re-watch the ruger vs FN video. It would be super handy if you included a link in the description or something.
Just food for thought.

Thanks for the upload! Needed this
Great information as always. You completed plenty of testing to give viewers a really good look at what each round can do in terms of energy delivered, damage done and penetration. Well done.
Thank god I can get my fix finally!!!
I already had my spoon out! I've been having withdrawals for days. I feel so much better now!
There is one other significant advantage to the 5.7 over larger diameter rounds such as the .38 Special... long range trajectory. A lot less aim compensation to be accounted for with a projectile having a muzzle speed of @ +1600 fps than those below 1000. Perhaps a future presentation demonstrating how 'flat' shooting the 5.7 x 28 can be compared to a larger caliber round such as the 9x19 at ranges beyond 50 yards is on tap for later this year ?
I am glad to see another video from you.
Nice video Mr. Harrell !!! Always enjoy new content, thank you.
As always; great review! I haven't seen the Meat Target in so long that I was excited to see it!
Someone started the rumor that meat target components will be banned during the upcoming Biden administration. Something about promoting violence or something. I haven’t figured it out yet.
Thanks for all you do Paul. I think you're far more important than most are willing to admit. I wish we had more people like yourself directly involved in the 2A fight.
And another great reason why I suggestive to your channel! You always have a way of fair and yet we'll put together comparisons. Great job!!!
Hi Paul, just stumbled across your channel a few days ago.
You are ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD!!!
Nice to see good information presented in a way that's easy to relate to no matter what your level of experience is.

Welcome back Paul. I hope all went well for you over the holidays. Looking forward to more of your vids.
Yours and buffmans range vids on this caliber are the best
Thank the lord, Paul Harrell is back. Our nation was tearing at the seams without him
Did i just see 2 Paul videos in one day?
It must be second Christmas!
I fully expect that in the near future there are a number of keyboard commandos who will consider hunting deer with anything less than a 50 caliber or larger rifle with a 5-30 power scope and a 4 person crew insufficient. One guy will be spotting, one guy for legal safety reasons, and a backup guy with a 338 Win Mag along with support from the air and a month long scouting report every day.
Oh, by the way, good video as always, Mr. Harrell.
Working in law enforcement for the last 28 years I’ve seen the effects of various rounds of ammunition on about everything you would imagine. Now, I’ll freely admit that I know very little about the 5.7x28, but what I’ve heard about it I assumed it would have sufficient penetration. I’ve heard that, as a pistol cartridge, it has the ability to penetrate soft body armor. Last week I responded to a shots fired call where an individual armed with an FN57N shot into a home. The suspect shot 14 rounds through the front picture window from a range of about 15 feet. The picture window is a double pane thermal window, about 6’ wide and 5’ tall. The ammunition he used was FN USA 5.7x28 27gr lead free. As I investigated I was amazed that all of the projectiles were stopped by the 60” flatscreen TV that was in front of the window in the house. I know that there are a lot of solid parts in a TV that could stop some ammunition but I would have assumed, out of 14 rounds fired, at least one or two would’ve been able to penetrate; it didn’t even crack the LCD screen. Anyways, great video Paul, always look forward to what you put out.
When fired from an FN Five Seven pistol, The FN 27 grain LF ammunition is very effective. It will penetrate through a bullet proof partition of plexiglass. We had the Bulletin posted in our squad room in 2003 for Officer Safety.
@@boostimalaka1 that is what I had read also, but what I saw last week made me scratch my head. The double pane glass was thicker then regular window glass but not like bullet resistant glass and the TV was a typical 60” flat screen. 14 rounds fired and none went through the TV. If I hadn’t seen it I wouldn’t have believed it.
@@MB-uq8mb There is a RUclips video showing the penetration of this type of plexiglass that clearly shows the 5.7x28 defeating this type of barrier. I do recall one of my colleagues showing me a box of Ammunition that was for Law Enforcement use only. That ammunition will defeat level 2A body armor which at the time was issued to patrol.
I purchased a 5.7x28 FN Five Seven pistol several years ago. It definitely is a flat shooter with minimal recoil. Many service pistols in various calibers couldn’t penetrate a car door, the 27 grain LF zipped through the panel. The high velocity is key.
Oh HELLS YEAH! Thursday came early this week!
The strength of the 5.7 lies in it's mag capacity, and ability to defeat soft armor...That is what it was designed for.
Plus the ease of shooting due to limited recoil and minimal muzzle bounce as well as its an accurate flat shooter. Its downsides are cost, though thats not nearly as much an issue any more, ammo availability, muzzle flash, size and its damn loud. I don't really consider its pros or cons to be that much of a limitation or great draw. Its a good round in general and a great round if body armor or longer range is important to you.
Darn effective for varmints as well
The 5.7x28 ammo that I carry makes more energy than 9mm, so it can also be reasonably powerful.
@@NickFrom1228 Well cost and availability are dependent on location still.I shop around alot and haven't seen 5.7x28mm anywhere in 4 months.A couple internet sites have it at $99.00 a box for 50 rounds.....thats insane!I've had the Ruger 57 for 7 months now and it's a fun gun to shoot.I refuse to shoot the ammo I have until I can even replace it.Hard times were in unfortunately.
@@NickFrom1228 Im sure some people prefer to be in lager range. :)
